After watching "Ice Age" for the millionth time, I have to say it has a really nice moral.The storyline was amazing...beautifully written by Michael Berg, Michael J. Wilson & Peter Ackerman, the screenplay was awesome & the depth of emotions this movie had to offer was just fantastic.All of which make a great movie.

Ice age (2002) - Is the first animated feature made by Blue Sky Studios, and it may just be one of their best. The story did kinda remind me a little bit of "Monsters Inc" and maybe even "Shrek" but I always believe that you can tell a story that has been told before as long as it's creative, fun and most importantly smart. I really like the prehistoric setting and the way they get creative with the animals. some of them aren't even real animals but they are so stylized that they feel like they fit in this world. Even the jokes can be kinda clever sometimes but I could think of a couple that weren't really that funny but at least it felt like they were trying to be funny. The animation can also be admirable, but sadly I don't think it really aged that well. Given credit this was the studio's first movie but compared to the CGI movies around the same time, it almost feels kinda cheap and sort of ugly. At the same time I really do think the animation on the characters is very well done and the backgrounds are so massive and stylistic that most of the time it disguised the cheap animation. The characters are likable and maybe even a little lovable sometimes. Sid is intentionally annoying but has a good heart, Manny is a grump because of a surprising tragic backstory and Diego at first has goals to achieve his evil mischief but over time becomes something that even he didn't expect to become. I really like how the all of them feel so uncomfortable at first but slowly and yet awkwardly warm up with each other and even the baby which they need to bring home. There's even a couple moments where my heart sank and they really are sad. The one scene that got me the most is the backstory of manny as it probably explains a lot about his personality. The last character to mention is Scrat, he has practically become the mascot for Blue Sky and I can definitely see why. Every time he's on screen he's either getting himself into grave danger or just finding a place to store his Acorn and it's freaking hilarious. The music does a nice job with doing upbeat and dramatic sequences. They even include a pop song which would sound tedious and unneeded but it works because it actually matches the tone in the movie and admittedly it is very catchy. This movie was a great start for the studio. The animation might not have aged well as some of the other movies of the early 2000's and unfortunately this movie did lean the way to make too many sequels, but that really makes me appreciate the original movie even more. (A-)

Ice Age is a film released in 2002. The film features a mammoth, a sloth and a sabre toothed tiger taking care of a Native American baby. The performances are great and fantastic. The sequels will be reviewed later.
